New DIY purse: Two in One

Hello everyone, I am so in love with my latest DIY purse, it is a combo of purse/organizer.

I came up with this idea just walking through the isles of Staples store - they sell office supplies. One of their isles had few planners and also business cards holders.

I decided to combine two into one purse, but instead of keeping a business card holder I thought of changing it a little bit and upgrading it into purse. I bought : blue business card holder and brown planner.

I drew the pattern for the side elements on the carton, cut this pattern and then drew it on the black leather - I got 2 leather pieces which were glued to each side of the blue card holder. Now I have got a real purse.

I took the note book out of the planner and glued 2 velcros- one inside of the planner and another one on the back of my note book. Once I put it back into the planner it got attached securely inside - two velcros securely holding it inside.

A little extra - this is actually my favorite part. I found this unusual pin clasp in antique brass color on Ebay.I separated base from the chain with the clasp. I attached the chain/clasp part to the side of my purse and base to the center of the purse, where the closure should be.

I like this new addition to my purse collection - the blue one is big enough to have some cosmetic necessities and cell phone, and the brown one has a planner; I also put a small pen inside of it. It is super convenient - with one turn of the purse, and you can easily make "to do list" or put some important notes or check your schedule. Also this note book is detachable or replaceable. Once it is full, you can buy a new one, glue velcro on the back and put inside of your planner.

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."— Audrey Hepburn
